E3 has not even started yet, and a number of pretty big announcements have been made. EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Activision have already held their major events, and a number of interesting developments have surfaced, mostly from Microsoft.<\/p>\n
Firstly, they announced that their motion controlled gaming device, previously known as Project Natal, now called “Kinect” will be launched globally in November. A new Xbox 360 console has also been revealed, and it is smaller, quieter and includes Wifi.<\/p>\n
Microsoft also announced during its keynote address that the following countries will be getting Xbox Live “this summer”: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Russia and South Africa.<\/p>\n
EA revealed a new Bad Company 2 expansion pack hinting at Vietnam, as well as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 3. They also talked up Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, Medal of Honor, EA Sports Active 2 and some other sports stuff.<\/p>\n
I have to shoot off to Activision’s keynote now. One would be forgiven for mistaking the entrance to the event for a rock concert, with huge crowds, bright lights, and loud music pumping from inside. But more on that later…<\/p>\n
